I can't believe there isn't an NHTSA regulation about manual egress from an unpowered vehicle. This is just bonkers.

When I rode as a passanger in a Tesla Model 3, the owner told me not to use the big pull handle because it was the manual release, and instead to use the button at the top of the grab bar.

I don't know about the other models but the manual release was a more obvious way to open the door than the intended way.

Only for the front seats, and on something like the Y not all models even have manual releases in the back. The ones that do have them covered with a mat and no indication where they are.

On the model Y you need to removal a speaker grill to manually release the doors in the back.
